 | This is an essay on the civility policy. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
 | This page in a nutshell: Both common courtesy and Wikipedia policy preclude suggesting our correspondent's disagree with us because they are mentally ill. So, politely focus your counter-arguments on policy issues, and bear in mind inexperienced contributors may still make valid points, because even the most experienced of us are fallible. |
